About the role

  • OrioleDB is a next-generation storage engine for PostgreSQL, and this role sits at the intersection of database internals, open source community work, and Supabase's managed Postgres platform.
  • Strengthen OrioleDB's reliability through deeper test coverage, fault injection, crash and recovery testing, and improvements to CI infrastructure.
  • Ensure regressions are caught early and that OrioleDB behaves predictably under stress, replication, and failure scenarios.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and test new OrioleDB features and integrate them cleanly with PostgreSQL's planner, executor, and surrounding subsystems.
  • This role requires strong working overlap with Americas time zones due to production support and on-call responsibilities.
  • Build out and maintain test infrastructure: regression suites, fuzzing, randomized testing, crash and recovery testing, and CI pipelines.
  • Participate in design discussions, architecture reviews, and code reviews - both inside Supabase and in the PostgreSQL community.
  • Write clear technical documentation, design notes, and upstream proposals.
  • Deeply familiar with PostgreSQL's codebase, build system, and extension APIs.
  • Able to write clear technical documentation and explain design trade‑offs.
  • We want everyone to share in the upside of what we're building together.
  • We operate asynchronously and trust you to manage your own time.
